We got on the trail at 7:15 this morning. Mucho better riding earlier, beating the heat, and having time to relax at camp in the evening.
We met some people from Cleveland going our same was today. Nice talking with them and seeing them once in a while as we lept frog one another if one party stopped for something. Go Indians!
We stopped at Harper's Ferry around 2 for some touring time. Got some ice cream and had 6 more miles to get to camp. Today we were able to ride right into camp, so David didn't have to try to find us at a stopping point. The ride today was really dirty and we were very thankful we are able to shower each night, as if we had tried this dry camping we would have stunk really bad by the end of the week!
There were a lot more people on the trail today. Because it's Saturday I reckon. One part of the towpath we were on was also part of the Appalachian Trail. Now I can say I've been on that!
We rolled into camp around 6pm, having ridden 59 miles.
After dinner we sat by the Potomac River. Zak & Michaela swam for a while.
We plan to hit the trail by 7am, and Zak is riding the whole 55 miles with us. I'm not ready for this trip to be over, even though my butt could use a break from the saddle. Hope that the headline reads "We Made It" on tomorrow's post!
Gotta go.
